Farrow & Ball

Tunsgate Green

No. 250

Tunsgate Green by Farrow & Ball is a very pale green with a yellow undertone that keeps it from reading too cool. With an LRV of 89.6, it reflects a large amount of light, making it a practical choice for smaller rooms, north-facing spaces, or anywhere a bright, open feel is needed. It reads almost as a tinted white, so it can function as an alternative to a plain off-white while still introducing a hint of color.

It pairs well with Farrow & Ball colors like Cooking Apple Green, Pale Powder, Wimborne White, Hague Blue, and Pointing.
